could you just give me a rough anecdotal ball park figure on what you get finance wise?

[BBBee]

that's it really - not legal requirements blah blah - just how much they pay - do they pay any of the mortgage etc.

thank you very much if you answer this - am in that limbo dark place!

it depends what the NRP earns and how many children, and how often the children stay with them.
Then you may be entitled to various benefits.
It is all personal circumstances really, it is pointless for me to tell you how much my ex pays in child maint as it has no bearing on your circumstances.

sorry to hear that you might be getting into this.

okay thank you for replying. tis awful - but am hoping less awful than it has been.

csa calculator, try this.

and csa this which gives details of how calculated.

thank you - will try that.

have you got a thread about things? If you need to chat people on here are fantastic, even if it is just to listen.
